Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

What a professional hood cleaning includes

Grease-laden vapors coat the hood canopy, filters, grease removal devices, and surrounding surfaces. Left alone, that buildup restricts airflow, raises cook-line temperatures, and becomes fuel in a kitchen fire.

Our technicians clean to bare metal where accessible, degrease filters and cups, and leave the cook line ready for service—not a surface wipe that fails the next inspection.

High-volume fryer and charbroiler lines in Raleigh and Durham produce grease faster than low-volume cafés. We match cleaning intensity to your cooking volume so the canopy, baffles, and plenum stay inspection-ready between visits.

• Hood canopy, baffles, and grease cups cleaned to NFPA 96 practice
• Filters degreased or replaced as scoped for your system
• Service report and certificate of compliance for your records
• After-hours and weekend scheduling to protect dinner service

Built for Triangle commercial kitchens

Operators searching for a commercial kitchen hood cleaning company in Raleigh need documented work, clear access planning, and a crew that understands fryers, charbroilers, and high-volume lines.

The same standard applies in Durham and Chapel Hill: scoped access, protected finishes, and a crew that works around service hours instead of asking you to shut down the lunch rush.

ProKEC has served Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill kitchens for over 5 years. We start with a free evaluation so scope, frequency, and access are clear before you commit.

Documentation your inspectors can file

After each job you receive a detailed service report and compliance certificate suitable for fire marshals, health inspectors, and insurance files.

If grease load or access issues need follow-up, we say so plainly—no vague “cleaned” checkboxes without evidence.

Many operators schedule hood cleans on a recurring cadence (often every 3–6 months, sooner for solid-fuel or heavy grease). Your evaluation sets a practical interval for your kitchen—not a one-size-fits-all calendar.

How hood cleaning fits the full exhaust system

A clean canopy does not fix grease left in ducts or a starved rooftop fan. When needed, we pair hood work with duct cleaning and fan service so capture, conveyance, and exhaust move air the way NFPA 96 expects.

Ask for a system evaluation if you smell grease on the roof, see smoke roll-out at the hood, or failed a recent inspection for inaccessible duct sections.
